Woudn't need an AVO to keep me away from you in fishnets.

you know how to hurt a girl :P

With the cold weather the car does not like to start, well it starts and you have to keep on it for a minute or it will konk out.

warm, no probs. But over took a slow bloke in the 100 zone in 5th and with load and the motor just died/stopped for a split second as you accelerate , drop off and it kick off again. Revs OK in lower gears up to 6000 rpm ish

Busting to have it sorted :(

Do some work Paul :)

What a joke.

If you portray yourself as someone with no knowledge then it seems you get taken advantage of. As per this case.

Not a very good look from a workshop that is/was reputable on here.

Yeah , I have been pissing myself laughing for a few months now, when will it stop , my tummy hurts from laughing :)

I had NO knowledge at all about modifying a car. That is why I used a shop with a pretty good reputation.

But I do not consider myself totally stupid, 2 jobs before were fine,price as quoted and on time.

I put it down to shit happens and it can be fixed, so no probs in the long run :)

You say what a joke,

But it's been the same issue from day dot. No matter how many posts or examples have been given over multiple weeks, its still the one issue, not multiple new problems arising.

Yes you are right, probably my fault bringing it up, but it is difficult when blokes ask what is happening not to vent a little frustration. I think it all goes back from day one and the way the job was handled from the getgo and then it all went tits up after the build was completed.

But it goes in next Monday , so it will be interesting to see how it comes back, these blokes are good mechanics and I believe they will sort it out .

Back to, shit happens :)

Jangles, do you have your build specs anywhere on SAU ?

Nah I've never done one

only because there used to be a zero tolerance on slander

I have no control over what someone else writes . That would mean anyone can go on a thread, crap on some company and the thread gets closed. Edit the post, not close a thread.

I mention what is wrong with my car, but always say I have no problem with my "builder" ( no name) , I say shit happens and they will be fixing the problems,

I never mention anyone's name and purposely do not put shit my on anyone but I can be unhappy about my situation , it is farking frustrating when you spend a shit load of $s and it is not right to drive after 8 months..

Goes in next week and hopefully that will be the end of this, well except I will be finishing the build at some stage and like to post the results

tell them it should be as good as this one, lol https://youtu.be/vfa7dn-N4F4

should do as good as a dirty VL :ph34r:

Yeah , hate to be sitting in the boot if it broke away :)

Someone could do that with my motor now, well after the dump/cat and fuel is upgraded, change the Turbo, cams and a new tune and it would be pretty strong, but maybe not where I want it "/

Off topic here.....so the car goes in next week?

How long will it be in for? I would be looking to get costs back on travel or push for something.

400+ KW on 98 or give it back :P

Yeah Brent/ Joey, next Monday and looking forward to get it back in A1 condition.

400+ I doubt it. I am not getting the new work done yet, I just want the problems fixed ASAP and move on.

As to when when it will be finished, guess it depends if they start straight away or not and if they are willing to give it the attention the job deserves. They should be able to have it done within a week or they are not trying , so time will tell :)

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
